You know nothing about this situation, you just think do. And really your concern trolling is just weird.

When I saw that the almost-exact-same conditions had been reenacted in India last year, in a garment-workers’ factory fire that was shockingly similar, I just about blew my lid. It did not surprise me in the least that some of Ivanka’s clothes were made there, or that the designers and stores that carried the brands…

Have you actually tried to listen to any top-40 station in the last couple of years? Auto-tune isn’t an instrument, but it might as well be.

A+ gif usage

Beautifully put! It baffles me that people to do not comprehend the disasters that will happen with widespread deregulation. They think that corporations will do their best to take care of them and keep them safe but they are dead wrong. It is proven time and again that corporations care only about the bottom line and…

I recently moved my son into his freshman dorm at the University of San Francisco. The dorms are old, and pre-date the codes requiring sprinkler systems. I am not a member of the fire service, but for 12 years I have consulted to a company that makes a fire protection system, so I am very aware of building safety…

The problem with fire prevention is that when it works right, people get very lax about potential danger. Unless someone is a fire fighter or was lucky enough to escape one it’s hard to grasp exactly how fast and deadly they are.

And the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, responsible for starting the workers/labor movement:

As an architect, fire protection is literally 90% of my job. Hearing about things like locked egress doors and loading over capacity make my blood boil, it’s irresponsible!

My wife and I still ask each other “Are you Sammi and Ronnie done, or done-done?”

The author has a PhD from UT. The piece is quite harsh towards Hammer, but it’s not really about him as much as the entertainment industry’s continuing insistence on and methods for trying to create a fresh generation of straight white male Movie Stars despite the audience’s stubborn disinterest in such creatures. I…

Pointing out that immense privilege has allowes this mediocrity to have a seemingly limitless number of chances in Hollywood unlike most people isn’t exactly a hit piece.

Amazing to hear from all my friends that all of us heard some variant of “what else do women expect?” from older female relatives over Thanksgiving. Many of us were genuinely shocked that our aunts, grandmothers, & mothers think that this is a “grey area”, but I’d venture that to say that that surprise is part of the…

I had the exact same response as this person to seeing her name everywhere this morning. Guhhhhhh.

As an aside, I can’t figure out whether the Andrew Jackson portrait is deliberate, accidental, or someone in the White House brilliantly trolling Trump. And the more I think about it, the deeper down the rabbit hole I go.

It’s called “Whataboutism” and it’s a much used deflection tool in this administration.

I’m an aggressive person by nature but I’ve really tried to chill the fuck out these past five years and this administration is making me want to fucking hit things daily.

i was asked 4 months after giving birth when was i finally going to have that baby?
